I can t believe the end of August is almost here. While it seems like summer has zipped by, it also seems like the May Poker Run was long ago. I guess time flies when we re keeping busy. Our Hospitality Picnic on August 7 th was a huge success, with over 50 members present. While we didn t sign up any new members, it was a fun event, and members had a beautiful day to socialize and get to know each other better. Let s all give a big thank you to ValJean and Bill Rossmann for putting on such a great picnic (and also to Dwight and Mary Hutton, who both pitched in to help with the preparations.) Thanks to everyone who brought something edible to share. Our second try for a cruise at King s turned out just like our first, as the weather was just as wet as in July. We might consider looking for a date in September for one last shot at a cruise for this season. Since our first attempt for GPMC service night at Starlite this year was a complete rainout, we re planning a second try on August 26 th. It will be Mopar night. Plan on coming out to help with setup, directing traffic, or tear down. Be sure to check the Starlite weather hotline (724-935-6803, Ext. 2222) beforehand to see if it s been cancelled. Our next meeting will be held on September 7 th back at Roosevelt Grove in North Park. Danielle Lane, our VP, will be presiding. I hear that Dwight still has some hot dogs left from the picnic, so plan on bringing your appetite. Bring your own beverages and anything you'd like to have with the hot dogs. Jennie & I will see you all back at King s for our October 5 th meeting. Keep those motors runnin, Ken Photos from last year s GPMC Service Night at Starlite: Left: Ken, ValJean, Chris, and Bill demonstrate greeting participants. Right: David & Marie-Claude direct traffic. Plan on coming it s fun!!!
